Transition Plans - IFSP and IEP

Creation date: 5/28/2025 3:04 PM    Updated: 5/28/2025 3:05 PM

IFSP:


The word "Transition” is used for the littles but it is an on/off checkbox on Tab 7 of the IFSP.  This can be toggled on and off as needed in the IFSP.

  • Off:

  • On - image is sample - data is needed further down the page as well:


IEP:

Transition for the IEP is permanent. The IEP Transition Plan is only for students turning 14 in the school year and older.  Once this is added to the IEP, it stays with the student on all future IEPs through the IEPs for the rest of their SRS history or until they are 25 or older.

  • The first question when creating a new IEP is a Yes, include postsecondary transition plan in IEP or No.

  • The second question is for importing data.  This will be blank or duplicate depending on which you chose.

  • If you confirm after selecting yes and either option for importing, you will get the pop up below.


  • If you say yes to the message and Begin a Transition Plan, this is an irreversible change and all future IEPs must contain a transition plan.

  • If this has been added to a student's forms, you will need to put a sentence description for NDE.  You can discuss with your district whatever sentence description you prefer to state that this is not needed at this time.
